"The advantage of marketing cream." said Mr. Farnum, "is that "ise catt!? can feed thens>-'.\ - a large part of the y.-.ir and nothing is taken off the land, as the butter fat contains practically n?? mineral elements. Also, th skintnw d milk can be used in feeding hogs and chickens,.'* continued th specialist. Before leaving f> r Cias l'?uftljr, the first of the \vt?k. Mr. Fartium gave out the -following statement: 1. There are many farms located in valleys neat ;h rat e.ni> it Cherokee Cjunty that i- ; .; ta ;jy h.> converted into excellent a'd profitable dairy farms. 2.

On the other hand to those farmers living adjacent to the L. & N". Railway they have a very attractive market to Atlanta.

I ' t n rs hope to in Id up :.ei ii without buying nunc ial fertilizer and increase ' the yield per acre of their farm*. ; they must start t milking cows and ' growing in to the dairy business. 6. What will a fairly good cow produce? A good cow shouid produe. fr uit ?70.(J0 to S100 per year in utter fat. in addition to this she will produce a calf that can be sold for veai when around six weeks old. also the skimmed milk is left on the farm and this is on< of the best feeds for growing pork and chickens that we have. 7. Cherokee County should profit from what their Macon County neighbors are doing where they have practically the same conditions as Cherokee. Lis year they started shipping ; few cans of cr am to Atlanta. and this increa-ed very fast until today thei? are over one hundred cream separaters in the County, and during the month of December Macon County farmers shipped 161 i cans of cream from the depot at , Franklin. Therefore it is being done just a short distance from Murphy, ? it is Vi r\ evident that it is the thing f<?r thi- i-uuntv. 8.

Dairy farming will surely do this for Cherokee farmers -it will: tat Provide a cash income every two weeks. <b> It will provide money to pay cash for groceries, taxes, etc. <c> It will build up the fertility of the soil by applying the mai nure thereon. ; (d> It will provide steady employnur.t the year round. (e) The dairy cow will pay off more mortgages, build better houses, bettor barns, and provide a more happy, prosperous and contented farm life than any other animal you can keep on j your farm. Yes. it is truly tim. thai Cheroket . farmers realize their opportunity, J and naturai dairy auvaiuagtm, au*?I I start milking cows in this county. District Commissioner Thinks Road Contracts Will Be Sgned Soon According to information contain* , i d in a recent letter from District Commissioner J. G. Stikeleather. thl contracts for the roatl between Murphy and Andrews will in all probability he signed unless something unforseen comes up, as the bids received late in January for the grading of this stretch of road, have bee* approved by both the district office and the State Highway Commission* cr. The Wilson Construction Co., of Rutherfordton. was the successful bidder on project 912-A, which comprises this end of the road; and the W. T. Moore Concrete Products Co.. of Andrews, was the successful bidder on the stretch nearest Andrews. known as project 912-B. It is expected that work will be beg uA 1 on th-se projects within the ne*t Tm?j been ieL i?r trading only, but in all probability t th? next General Assembly Witt make funds available for forth#* , road work, which will make it peas* iblc to surface this link.
